What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

saw 7 orange liluminated lights in the sky over, or near Delavan Wi. Flying perfectly spaced apart, at the same distance from each other, going in the same direction.. and at a very, very high rate of speed. They were all in a perfect line heading due east and disappeared at the exact same time. was like a perfectly executed military drill... at night... I've never seen anything like it.

I was out for a walk by the lake late at night and saw a bright, round object above the tree line (1000-2000’ in the air). It was orange and red, and moved up, down, left and right at an extremely high speed. It did not flicker. Its movements were large, but appeared constrained to one box about a half a mile wide. This was the second time I have seen this, the first time was in 2011 on the northeast side of the lake, this one was the southeast side. There were aircraft in the vicinity, but none remarkably close to the object. The time I saw this phenomenon in 2011, it revealed a teal light underneath before “flying” away. Both times the object seemed to shrink into nothing before disappearing. Observation distance was 1-2 miles. I have an aviation background and am very familiar with different types of aircraft and landing lights. This may (or may not) have been an unmanned aircraft being used/tested by the military, since I’ve seen it twice in roughly the same area within 10 years. Whatever it is, it’s far too big to be a personal UAV. I was too far away to tell if it made a sound or not.

My wife went out to the front porch for a smoke. Suddenly she called me out and she pointed to the sky asking “what are those.” What we saw initially were three lights reddish amber in color and the first three were followed by three more of the same size and color. Being late at night it was hard to distinguish the altitude of the reddish amber lights, but I would estimate them being at least a thousand feet high in the sky. They ran silently from the direction of the city of Elkhorn over the city of Delavan in the direction of Janesville. The lights were very bright and were spaced apart by what appeared to be several hundred feet. They glided across the sky all in the same direction and path. My wife, daughter, grandson, and I watched them fly over our neighborhood and disappeared into the dark sky. The lights made no sound and were definitely not Japanese Lanterns or flares. There was no smoke trail, and the lights did not flicker like a flame. We saw no strobing red or other color lights on the objects. I did contact the local police department to report them. I did not have my camera with me.
